They said it couldn't be done.
They laughed when I said I would do it.
They said that it couldn't be done.
I rolled up my sleeves and went to it.
I struggled, I strove, I strained.
I fought at it day and night.
They said that it couldn't be done.
They were right.
Everyone's poems seem to be silly and simple tonight so i thought i would follow with a somewhat more serious poem. So i'm sure everyone has been told to never stop but instead keep trying again and again and again and again....but sometimes trying again just doesn't work. Sometime in life your going to run into a task that your just not going to be able to do, and thats what this poem is about. The character in the poem at first starts out by scoffing at the task he's set to do when everyone around him is telling him its impossible. But soon after much labor, he ends up finding out that the task was impossible and couldn't be done. Though it might not seem right to some people to quit, and makes a interesting poem to end the last poetry response on, seeing its about failure, but i think its obvious that the moral of the poem here is that sometimes just say enough is enough and leave whatever your doing, especially when your not gonna complete it.
